Web presence of science institutions
by Subbiah Arunachalam 25 Jul '10

25 Jul '10

Friends: Will someone, say an M Lib Sci student, do a quick study of comparing the coverage of papers from Indian and other developing country institutions in Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar? The webometrics team in Spain have carried out such studies. Arun http://www.webometrics.info/openac.html British Universities commitment to Open Access We provide this table as an example of the current situation regarding open distribution of scientific results by world universities. In the case of United Kingdom, the production of quality papers is far higher than the number of them available in repositories and thus being indexed by Google Scholar. UK universities are not achieving higher ranks in Webometrics as compared to other research-based rankings and this is the most likely explanation for this behaviour. We also want to note that this problem does not only affect to the UK but to countries all over the world because many universities are not yet taking the Web seriously. Universities Scopus Scholar % Sco vs Sch University College London 134,950 8,660 6.42% University of Cambridge 114,339 8,320 7.28% University of Oxford 99,723 7,800 7.82% Imperial College 91,537 4,720 5.16% University of Manchester 83,024 3,840 4.63% King's College London 60,407 1,100 1.82% University of Edinburgh 57,473 9,920 17.26% University of Birmingham 56,365 3,900 6.92% University of Bristol 55,232 2,759 5.00% University of Glasgow 51,081 4,750 9.30% University of Sheffield 50,337 2,454 4.88% University of Leeds 49,674 3,230 6.50% University of Liverpool 45,992 1,390 3.02% University of Southampton 44,013 14,000 31.81% University of Nottingham 41,472 3,206 7.73% Cardiff University 39,196 1,274 3.25% Newcastle University 37,591 2,530 6.73% Queen Mary University of London 30,715 1,150 3.74% Queen's University Belfast 29,537 1,050 3.55% University of Leicester 26,883 1,850 6.88% University of Aberdeen 26,398 1,250 4.74% Durham University 24,159 2,650 10.97% University of Sussex 23,322 1,756 7.53% University of Strathclyde 23,269 1,400 6.02% University of Warwick 23,018 6,010 26.11% University of Reading 22,786 1,299 5.70% University of Surrey 21,563 2,020 9.37% University of York 21,554 2,920 13.55% Loughborough University 18,902 4,030 21.32% University of Saint Andrews 17,212 1,490 8.66% Scopus: Publications (1996-May 2010).

ProQuest and The Times of India Partnership Significantly Expands International Content in Historical Archive
by sandeep bhavsar 17 Jul '10

17 Jul '10

Respected All ProQuest first to offer online access to the complete archive of world’s largest English-language daily newspaper Cambridge, United Kingdom - The Times of India, the world’s largest circulated English daily newspaper, will join ProQuest Historical Newspapers™, dramatically expanding the international content in this acclaimed archive. ProQuest announced at the International Federation of Library Association’s International Newspaper Conference in New Delhi that it will enable digital access to content published from 1838 to 2001 at its mid-year launch, with continually growing coverage. Timing coincides with migration to ProQuest’s new unified platform, allowing The Times of India’s content to be cross-searched and integrated within a library’s entire ProQuest collection. “We’re particularly excited about bringing The Times of India—our 29th major newspaper archive—into this collection because it enriches the research experience with truly international content,” said Rod Gauvin, Senior Vice President, ProQuest. “This is the kind of diverse content that introduces researchers—whether it’s a student or an historian—to a new perspective on world events… the kind of perspectives that can lead to ‘Eureka’ moments.” The Times of India will join other seminal papers such as the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal in the world's largest digital newspaper archive, adding coverage of historic world news from a unique perspective. Founded in 1838 to serve the British residents of West India, The Times of India now circulates more than four million copies, covering almost eight million readers. Librarians and historians value its full coverage of such topics as the British Raj, Gandhi, Independence and Partition. As part of ProQuest Historical Newspapers, it provides exceptional depth to the study of colonial and post-colonial times, class and gender issues, religion, as well as international economics, international relations and culture influence research. “At Times Group we believe in creating value and customer delight in whatever we do. The tie-up with ProQuest – the first-ever initiative of its kind by any Indian newspaper, will allow our valued readers to access our archived content at the click of a mouse” said Sidhant Khosla, Director, Corporate Group, of Bennett Coleman and Company Limited. The Times of India’s digital content is part of ProQuest's continually expanding support of global research. ProQuest’s news content is among the world’s most extensive troves of primary source information, including more than 900 current newspapers and 300 editorially-vetted blogs from around the world, ProQuest Historical Newspapers™—25 million pages of news dating from 1764—and content from more than 300 U.S. and international broadcast news outlets. With an all-new platform in the works for 2010, the breadth of this content will be integrated and available through a single search, creating a robust new avenue for research.For more information, visit www.proquest.com or the ProQuest parent company website, www.cambridgeinformationgroup.com.

Google Calendar useful for Library
by pradeep pandey 16 Jul '10

16 Jul '10

Using Google Calendar as an Email Alert System for Electronic Resource Renewals This article describes an innovative and simple way for libraries to generate email reminders for the renewal and payment of electronic resources using Google Calendar. The advantages of using Google Calendar include cost (it’s free) and ease of use. Setting up an email alert system using Google Calendar enables librarians to track and manage their electronic resources more effectively. It is common for academic libraries to subscribe to numerous types of electronic resources including indexes, full-text databases, reference sources, streaming video/audio collections, and journal collections from individual publishers. Consequently, it can be challenging for librarians to keep track of the renewal and payment process for online resources. This article will present an easy, readily accessible, and inexpensive way for librarians to alert themselves to upcoming renewals. A Web-based Solution While spreadsheets handled many of our needs well, we soon recognized that we also needed an email alert system to expedite the handling of renewals. We evaluated two major online calendars, Google Calendar and Yahoo Calendar, to determine whether they could be customized to do what we needed. After signing up for accounts, we set up a test email alert system on both platforms. It soon became obvious that Google Calendar was better suited to the kind of system that we envisioned. While both Google and Yahoo were easy to use, only Google allowed us to set up email reminders up to four weeks in advance of renewaldeadlines. Yahoo, by contrast, limited email reminders to fourteen days notice. Before populating Google Calendar with renewal dates, we needed to go into the “My Calendars” settings and select “Share this Calendar” to add all the email addresses for staff who required access to the calendar, and then save the settings. In addition, staff members needed to have an individual Google Calendar account (linked to amontclair.edu email account) with the same notification settings in order to receive all the email reminders at the designated times. This was accomplished by selecting the “Other Calendars” setting in each account and clicking on “Notifications” for the shared calendar. In the Notifications setup, email reminders were added for the desired time intervals (in our case this was one, two, and four weeks). After this was completed for all participating staff, the calendar was ready to be filled. The next step was to have a student assistant post events and email reminders in Google Calendar. This was fairly straightforward. For each electronic resource, we wanted to keep track of the renewal date and payment status, so we created an “event” for each title. To create an event in Google Calendar staff had to complete the following steps: 1. Click on "Create Event" on the left hand side of the screen. 2. Type the event title in the "What" field (for example, ABI/INFORM Renewal or ABI/INFORM Payment). 3. Indicate the date of the event and whether it repeats yearly or at some other frequency (that is, carrying over the event to the following year or some other future date). 4. Under "Options", add the number of reminders needed and select the type of electronic reminder (for example, an email or pop-up message) as well as the time frame for sending them out in advance of the event (weeks, days, minutes). This can also be preset in the "My Calendars" settings under "Notifications". 5. Insert a description of the event, such as "Check for receipt of resource invoice" or "Verify resource payment". The software was customizable enough that we could add multiple reminders. Remind-ers were sent out four weeks, two weeks, and one week before the renewal date as well as four weeks, two weeks, and one week before a designated payment status check. The recipients included the Electronic Resources Librarian (myself), the Periodicals Librarian, and the Dean of Library Services’ office, the key players in managing our electronic resources. Since Google Calendar allows events to be carried over year after year, there is no need to repopulate the calendar every year. We developed a work-around in instances where we needed to be notified more than four weeks before a subscription lapsed. For example, if we wanted to generate a reminder 90 days before a renewal date, we simply created an event at least 62 days before the end of the subscription period and set up a reminder to be sent four weeks ahead of time. We made sure to embed the actual renewal date somewhere in the description for the event. Once the calendar was operational, we had the capacity to login to our account and browse month to month to determine which electronic resources were up for renewal in the future and plan accordingly. Other uses we discovered included monitoring the beginning and end of database trials as well as tracking scheduled meetings with vendors and staff. For the most part, however, we continue to use the calendar primarily as a basic alerting system. Although we have been using it for less than a year, we are satisfied that we have achieved our modest goals. The minor problems encountered were mostly related to errors in data entry, for example, incorrect dates or typos. All in all, the Google Calendar tool provides us with an effective means of following the renewal cycle for our electronic resources at a fraction of the cost of sophisticated proprietary systems.

Librarians approach Ashok Chavan for better salaries
by Snehashree Rahalkar 14 Jul '10

14 Jul '10

Snehashree Shriram Rahalkar. Information Specialist, Odyssey Capital Pvt. Ltd. Worli, Mumbai-400018 Dear Professional i like to share the following article. I am expecting a discussion on this. Librarians approach Ashok Chavan for better salaries Linah Baliga / DNAWednesday, July 14, 2010 0:30 IST Email Mumbai: Most people imagine them as bespectacled, serious-looking people who know exactly where that out-of-publication book is stashed away in rows upon rows of moth-eaten wooden shelves. While the stereotype may be true only to a degree, it is a certain fact that librarians of government-aided libraries in the state are increasingly feeling like the worn-out leaves of a book no one wants to read. To make their presence felt, this disgruntled workforce will take out a protest march to chief minister Ashok Chavan’s bungalow, Varsha, on July 19. They are demanding better pay, and want the state frame a library movement policy which clearly defines the methods and ways to reach and educate villagers through the medium of books. “We want our remuneration to be revised. We do not get salaries. There are insufficient funds to buy new books. Ours is a thankless job, in spite of us giving readers a perspective,” said Dr Ramesh Janmabandhu, Maharashtra Rajya Granthalaya Sangha. “Under the current circumstances, our work can be equated with social work. We want to be on the government’s pay roll. We also want to highlight various lacunae in the libraries. There are not enough reading rooms, books or furniture to attract readers,” said Ashok Khandle, a librarian. Sunil Kubal, a librarian from Dadar Marathi Granthalaya, said, “Books in all languages are now-a-days priced at Rs300, and grants are not sufficient to buy them. We need double the grants. Our remuneration has not been revised since five years. Our job involves not just classification and cataloguing, but we personally deliver books at senior citizen’s homes. We guide the jobless to read employment newspapers,” he said. Source: http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report_librarians-approach-ashok-chavan-for-… 1409436 Snehashree Shriram Rahalkar.
